In today’s episode of Minds, Bodies, and Terawatts (September 11, 2026), we dug into OpenAI’s new ChatGPT for Financial Services, built with Morgan Stanley and Evercore to do the research, modeling and pitchbook work that junior analysts have done for decades. OpenAI’s Nick Turley frames it as the next Excel, while a Goldman Sachs partner warns of ‘cognitive atrophy’ if a generation never does the reasoning itself.
